Rugby 7s Teams Built Team Spirit at CAIS Rugby Tournament

4/26/2017

This was a great experience for both players and coaches, as they built exceptional team spirit together through their travels and competition.

Saturday and Sunday’s games were held at Ashbury College, while the first two days of the tournament took place at Carleton University. Though it averaged about 13°C in Ottawa, things heated up fast on the rugby pitch.

It was an exciting tournament to watch. The boys went 2-1 in their pool, finishing 2^nd, and went on to beat Holy Trinity School in the quarters. It was a close game in the semis, but Greenwood lost to Bishop’s College School. The girls went 2-2 in their pool, finishing 3^rd. They advanced directly to the semis, but a depleted team lost to St. Michael’s University School.

Despite not making the finals, boys and girls teams had a very exciting tournament. Their efforts playing together gave them the opportunity to gel before the start of the regular season, and to reaffirm the value of team spirit.
